While most of us are looking forward to escaping the UK for a summer holiday, Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise has been busy putting down temporary roots and becoming a veritable man about town. 

The actor, 60, has spent the last two months gallivanting across the country, bagging tickets to Silverstone, Adele and even the Royal Box at Wimbledon. 

The fun continued last night with dinner at Scott’s, a celeb-approved seafood restaurant nestled in the heart of London’s Mayfair.

The actor, 60, was first spotted back in May when he caused a sensation at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and delivered a speech at the Queen‘s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. 

Days later came his outing with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere at Leicester Square.

Following a brief stint overseas to promote the film in South Korea, Cruise returned to London in late June and made up for lost time by attending three concerts – The Rolling Stones, Eagles and Adele – in less than a week. 

In the last two weeks alone he has clocked an outing to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where he rubbed shoulders with Gordon Ramsay, two Wimbledon appearances (including one in the Royal Box) and a string of nights out at some of the capital’s hottest venues. 

He even squeezed in a birthday dinner with A-list friends Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian. 

Here, FEMAIL takes a look back at Tom Cruise’s Great British Summer Holiday!

15 MAY: QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE CELEBRATION

Dividing opinion: During A Gallop Through History, which kicked off the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Cruise made a 55-second appearance to introduce the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery as ‘one of the most enthralling, thrilling, heart-in-mouth displays’ he’d ever seen. Afterwards, he joined hosts Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham for an interview. The move raised eyebrows after he used the time on screen to promote his film Top Gun: Maverick
